How to save a buck or 2

When I had my own horse boarded at a local stable or on my own land I used to get frustrated with people trying to imply that I was associated with horses because of a love of wealth, or trying to live beyond my means. Horses were in my blood, still are just many years away from my beloved beasts being my life line. Some 'horse people' make it all work by the seat of their pants. Its not easy, especially when illness or injury present themselves on a particular bad month of income. What the hell are you going to do? Rob Peter to pay Paul for that bale of hay just so you can call out the vet and hope he doesn't deposit that check until later on in the week, month, etc.

Rode out with my friend for some quality horse time, there is a feller out there that has my interest so I'm always ready to accompany her. Didn't get to spend the time grooming as planned, but instead took care of what needed taken care of and in the process saving a buck or two. Vet visit, medicine, etc can add up fast and most definitely drain a bank account - quick like.

Love that my friend took care of her friend without missing a beat. Kudos Lisa!

Doing What It Takes

The past two weekends we have been set up to sell our wares trying to raise $ moolah for this rescue. Today it was most needed in order to feed the troupe.
Mission accomplished : )

Last Saturday we set up booth at the Midway Festival, unfortunately we were rained out within an hour with only one $2.00 sale to line our wallet.

Jewelry, note cards, catgrass, and focal gemstone beads.

Catgrass & Flax Seeds, Organic Catnip, DeVa, & Diatomaceous Earth

All set up!

Then on Sunday May 3rd we set up at the corner of Limerick @ Hwy 17 and sold most all of our plants, some Diatomaceous Earth and met some interesting people. Main thing is that we made enough capital to purchase some chicken for the dogs and tuna for the cats. Left with IGA & Dollar General choices, it really wasn't rocket science to figure we were better with human grade food.

**Most every bag of carnivore food in those stores starts with ground yellow corn - 1. our charges are carnivores, 2. even if our charges were herbivores the feeding of yellow corn is seriously wrong. Carnivores need meat with a slight side of veggies. If you are trying to feed your carnivores a more correct diet by means of their natural 'wild' menu basically the only vegetable matter these carnivores would normally partake of was in the stomachs of the animal they were dinning upon - think about it.**

***Corn should be fed to humans and animals as a desert, not a side dish or definitely not a main course. Corn causes the consumer to 'heat-up', due to its high content of sugar. Most of the corn found in our grocery stores come from Monsanto stock and that is Genetically Modified Organisms - not cool, not cool at all.***

May they continue to grow for new caretaker!

Several people showed an interest in Paca (from her photos), she is a darn good looking Bulldog if I do say so myself. (maybe just a bit bias). Today we put in 2 hours in the hot Georgia Sun to earn $30.00 and that took care of immediate needs and now have enough food to last till later on in the week. Hopefully something else will turn up an opportunity for us to make a little more cash. We don't give up, we just bow our heads and thank the heavens above for all that we have and in our faith more always presents itself to us.
We are blessed to have amazing people backing our efforts - thank you (if you are one of them present/past/or future).
